A B.Sc degree typically takes 3 to 4 years of full-time study. In most countries, including India, Australia, and the UK, a typical B.Sc program lasts for three years. However, if pursued as an honors degree or in some fields, such as engineering or professional sciences, it may take four years. In the United States and Canada, B.Sc programs typically take four years because of additional general education requirements.
The duration can vary based on factors like specialization, university curriculum, and study mode (full-time or part-time). Some universities offer accelerated programs that allow students to complete the degree in a shorter time, while others have co-op or internship programs that may extend the duration. Additionally, dual-degree programs or integrated master’s courses can increase the time required for completion. Students opting for research-intensive or thesis-based B.Sc programs may also need extra time to fulfill academic requirements.
